Verse 1
A
E
A
He walked out in the arena
E
A
all dressed up to the brim
Said he just came down
E
from a place called Highland Rim
A
And he said he came to ride the horse,
D
A
the one they call the brute
But he didn't look like a cowboy
E
A
in a continental suit
We snickered at the way he dressed,
E
A
but he never said a word
Walked on by the rest of us
E
as if he hadn't heard
A
A thousand bucks went to the man
D
A
who could ride this wild caillouse
A meaner horse was never born
E
A
than the one they call the brute
The horse that he was looking for
was in chute number eight
Walked up there,
E
he slowly put his hand upon the gate
A
We knew he was a purebred
D
A
when he pulled a sack of dukes
From the inside pocket
E
A
of his continental suit
He rolled himself a quirley
E
A
and he let it stand in there
Blew himself a smoke ring
E
and he watched it disappear
A
We thought he must be crazy
D
A
as he opened up the gate
Standing just inside
E
A
Bb
was 1 ,500 pounds of heat
The buckskin tried to run him down
F
Bb
but the stranger was too quick
He stepped aside and threw his arms
F
around the horse's neck
Bb
And he pulled himself upon the back
Eb
Bb
of the horse they called the brute
Sitting like he was born there
F
Bb
in his continental suit
The brute chimed in, was in the air,
F
Bb
his front end on the ground
Kickin' and a -squealin',
F
tryin' to shake the stranger down
Bb
But the stranger wouldn't give an itch,
Eb
Bb
he came to ride the brute
He came to ride that buckskin
F
Bb
in his continental suit
I turned around to look at Jim,
F
Bb
but he was watchin' me
Said, I don't believe
F
the crazy things I think I see
Bb
But I think I see the outlaw,
Eb
Bb
the one they call The Brute
Ridden by a cowboy in a
F
Bb
A
continental suit
The Brute came to a standstill,
E
A
ashamed that he'd been robed
By some city cowboy
E
in some continental clothes
A
The stranger took his money
D
A
and we don't know where he went
We don't know where he came from,
E
A
and we haven't seen him since
The moral of this story,
E
A
never judge by what they wear
Underneath some ragged clothes
E
could be a millionaire
A
So everybody listen,
D
A
don't be fooled by this galoot
Sure enough, bronc rider
E
A
E
A
in his continental suit you
